Preparing for the Impossible

Chapter 90: Preparing for the Impossible

🔥 Aether Academy – Private Training Room, Midnight

Rei Kurogane sat on the floor, eyes closed, thinking.Kozuki Renjou leaned against the wall, arms crossed, smirking.Tomorrow—they would fight Viraj Rathore, the strongest of Asura War Academy.

💀 And they couldn't afford to lose. 💀

The Weight of the Challenge

Kozuki exhaled, stretching his arms.

Kozuki: "Tch. It's been a while since someone's had the guts to call both of us out."

🔥 His voice was amused—but there was tension underneath. 🔥

Rei didn't respond immediately.

His mind was running calculations.Every move Viraj made earlier was replaying in his head.He had to find a way to win.

After a few seconds, Rei opened his eyes.

Rei: "We can't beat him in a normal fight."

Kozuki's smirk widened.

Kozuki: "Heh. I figured."

🔥 For the first time, brute force wouldn't be enough. 🔥

Analyzing Viraj Rathore

Rei stood up, pacing slowly.

Rei: "Let's break this down. We only saw him walk and talk, but that was enough."

Kozuki raised an eyebrow.

Kozuki: "Oh? And what did your genius brain figure out?"

Rei exhaled.

"First—his confidence. He challenged us both. That means he has faced worse.""Second—his stance. Even when relaxed, he was perfectly balanced. That means his instincts are sharp enough to react instantly.""Third—his presence. No wasted energy. No tension. That means he's fast, but he doesn't rely on speed alone."

🔥 In other words—Viraj had no weaknesses. 🔥

Kozuki clicked his tongue.

Kozuki: "Tch. Sounds like a pain."

Rei: "It is."

🔥 But then—Rei smirked. 🔥

Rei: "Which is why we need a plan."

The Strategy – Using Their Strengths Together

Rei turned to Kozuki.

Rei: "You fight instinctively. I fight by prediction."

Kozuki was raw power and overwhelming aggression.Rei was precision and control.

Rei: "If we fight separately, we'll lose."

Kozuki scoffed.

Kozuki: "So what? You want us to attack him at the same time?"

Rei shook his head.

Rei: "No. That's what he expects. And if he's truly stronger than us, he can handle both of us at once."

Kozuki's grin faded slightly.

Kozuki: "Then what's the play?"

🔥 Rei's eyes gleamed. 🔥

Rei: "We make him move first."

The Plan – Breaking the Unbreakable

Rei walked to the training mat, drawing a rough formation with his foot.

Rei: "Listen. He knows he's stronger, so he'll start slow—testing us."

Step 1 – Kozuki applies pressure.Step 2 – Rei stays back, reading every movement.Step 3 – The moment Viraj makes an opening, they switch roles.

🔥 Instead of attacking together, they would overwhelm him by constantly shifting their pace. 🔥

Kozuki rubbed his chin.

Kozuki: "So, basically, you want me to play bait?"

Rei smirked.

Rei: "You love hitting people. Now you get to do it without worrying."

Kozuki laughed.

Kozuki: "Heh. Fine. But if I knock him out first, you owe me lunch."

Rei shook his head.

Rei: "That won't happen."

Kozuki: "Tch. We'll see."

💀 Their plan was set. 💀

🔥 Tomorrow, they wouldn't just fight Viraj Rathore. 🔥

💀 They would try to break him. 💀
